Here are 4 unique attractions at The Island in Pigeon Forge for the whole family:
1. SkyFly: Soar America
As one of the newest attractions at The Island, SkyFly: Soar America will take your family on an exciting journey all across the United States. The motion ride utilizes a state-of-the-art riding system to give you the true sense of flight.

2. The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel
Do you want to take in the beauty of the Smokies from high above the skies? When you ride on The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, your family will be lifted more than 200 feet in the air where you can take in the glorious scenery of the mountains. While this ride is spectacular during all times of year, it is especially popular during the fall because you can experience a bird’s eye view of the magnificent fall foliage. One of the best parts of the ferris wheel is that each glass gondola is temperature controlled and can hold up to 8 guests, so the whole family can all ride together!
3. The Escape Game
The Escape Game at The Island in Pigeon Forge provides a great opportunity of family bonding. To begin, your group can choose one of five themes for your mission. Whether you want to find a secret gold stash or escape from prison, the opportunities are endless! Once inside your first room, your family will be given 60 minutes to find different clues and solve the puzzles necessary to complete your mission. This is a great activity to do with family because everyone will have to work together with the clock ticking if you want to successfully escape!
4. Battleground: Tactical Laser Tag
This amazing attraction is certainly not your ordinary laser tag! At Battleground: Tactical Laser Tag, you will be placed in a 2,700 square foot arena with all sorts of places to hide and strategize.
